“Camden was able to schedule and do a meet and greet, upon short notice. He communicated throughout the week and I felt comfortable having him drop in on the dogs for the week.”

“Amanda was amazing and professional. She sent lots of pictures. Dogs eating, playing, etc... it was fantastic the way she worked and cared for our pups. Her summary of the visits were great to read how they are doing in real time. Thank you so much for your heart and professional. We can't thank her enough.”

About: Hey there! Wether its a last minute trip or a trip planned out a month in advance I am here to help! You can trust that your fur baby will be in great hands. Knowing that being in a new environment can be overwhelming for your dog I ask that you tell me your usual day to day routine, that way they can still feel a sense of normalcy. Along with that I love playing with your dogs and providing lots of playtime/outside time. So book now and you wont regret it! I am currently taking classes to become a Veterinary Technician and all of my current classes are online. With that being said, I am home all day if I need to be. It is easy for me to accommodate your dogs needs, walking and playing whenever they need. I take my responsibilities very serious and pay attention to details making sure whatever I am doing is done correctly. I am very responsible, respectful, attentive, caring, and much, much more. I understand everyone has a different way in caring for their fur baby and I make sure to follow those ways to make not only you feel comfortable, knowing your fur baby is in good hands, but to also make your fur baby happy and comfortable as well.

“It was a pleasure meeting Amelia. She made us feel comfortable from the moment we met. Our 2 labradors loved her! She asked great questions then sent updates with photos & a video during her visit. We felt at ease knowing she was taking care of our furry kids!”

About: Hi! I’m Jen, a lifelong dog lover with a soft spot for rescues and senior pups. I recently said goodbye to my own dog, Eric, a golden mix I rescued at one year old and was lucky to have for almost 15 years. Caring for him through every stage of life gave me deep experience, patience, and a genuine understanding of what dogs need to feel safe, loved, and happy. I work from home with a very flexible schedule, which means your dog will get plenty of attention, companionship, and timely care, never rushed or left alone for long stretches. I truly miss having a dog around for daily walks, company, and that quiet joy dogs bring to everyday life, and pet sitting has been a wonderful way to share that love again. I’m active and enjoy walks that match your dog’s energy level, whether that’s a relaxed stroll or something a bit more adventurous. I also volunteer with a nonprofit called Hauling Hopes, which has further strengthened my comfort with different dog personalities and needs. I care for pets as if they were my own, keeping their routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. I’m attentive to feeding, walks, playtime, and medications, and I closely monitor behavior and wellbeing. Since I work from home with a flexible schedule, pets get plenty of attention, companionship, and timely potty breaks. I’m always happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind.
“We are so grateful to Cristine for taking such wonderful care of our dog and cat for 2 weeks. Our dog is very anxious and she warmed up to Cristine so quickly. She took extra time with her to help her feel secure while we were away and sent us tons of photos of them enjoying treats and snuggles. Our pets just loved her!”

“My two shy kitties obviously loved Amanda based on the pictures of them playing! One of them had to get medicine and had to be encouraged to eat and Amanda was successful every day! She seems very knowledgeable about cats. I appreciated her daily photos of the cats (and the empty food bowl!). She was always on time and did a great job. She was also really helpful and responsive about a small snag with Rover’s charges. I would definitely book again with Amanda!”

“Adriana, did a great job taking care of our 2 cats when we were away. She was reliable and provided detailed updates on how each of them were doing. Would definitely recommend her services.”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cared for my own for years. From daily walks and playtime to keeping up with feeding and routines, I make sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved like they’re part of the family. Hi, I’m Mike! I’ve cared for dogs most of my life and know how important it is to trust the person looking after your pet. I make sure every dog feels safe, loved, and part of the family—whether that’s daily walks, playtime, or sticking to their routine. I’m reliable. Ask for the general routine of the pet what special medication if any applicable and any other specific type of care the owners are requesting
About: Hi! My name is Katie and I have been a professional dog-walker, pet-nanny, & house-sitter for the past 9 years. My goal is to provide the most excellent pet-care and house-sitting experience for all my families✨ I work primarily around the Trexlertown/greater Lehigh Valley area. A little about me: I am a local visual artist with my BFA from Kutztown University and my MA from Queen's University Belfast. I am currently a studio artist with Artsquest located in Bethlehem, PA. I split my time between my 2 passions: art and pets. ♥️ At home, my sister and I share the responsibility of our 14 year-old rescue Papillon, Wembley.♥️🐾 My time with Wembley has completely raised my standards for the care that I provide and expect.♥️ Caring for a senior dog with several medications has given me a love for routine and an on-going sense of urgency around timing and planning.✅ Wembley is my entire world. ♥️ My goal as your pet-sitter is to provide the level of care I would expect for Wembley. 🙏 I am experienced with specialized animal care and strict schedule requirements. The pets that I’ve watched (including my own) have had: 🐾 restricted dietary needs 🐾designated feeding windows 🐾scheduled medications 🐾 blindness & disability 🐾as-needed emergency medication precautions Please let me know your pets history and local Vet upon meeting!

About: I grew up on a farm, so taking care of all types of pets and animals has always been a part of my life. I’ve been pet sitting since I was young and have obtained more skills in my professional career as a veterinary technician. I can do anything from feeding, walking, bathing, administering medications of all kinds, senior care, puppy care, and everything else under the sun! I’m currently taking a break from my professional career as a veterinary technician so I will be at home all day for at least 5 days a week. I have 4 dogs of my own and a 6 year old step daughter half the time that I care for as well. All animals in the home are pet friendly. I have a small area of fenced in yard with 10 acres of open land. The dogs always love a new play mate!
“Thank you Christine for sitting my kitties and all the pictures you sent with your updates. Christine was quick to respond back when I sent the request. She came over for a meet and greet before I left. Christine was very welcoming very friendly.”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life, and have always had multiple dogs. Whether it’s a small Yorkie or a big Boxer or Doberman, I have experience taking care of all types of dogs. I also have been riding horses since I was five years old and have worked at my barn for many years riding horses, cleaning out stalls, turning them out, and grooming them. Last year, I was the head of service for the equestrian team at my college and we volunteered for the local SPCA with both dogs and cats. I know the responsibility of taking care of animals, and will care for yours like my own. I am currently an online student at a community college, so I am pretty flexible during the week. I am planning on taking in person classes during the spring semester, so my availability might change a little thought the week. I have a boxer at home, so I know the responsibility it is to take care of a pet and the area around you. I am a very organized person and keep things very clean. I will clean up after your pet, take them on walks depending on their routine, play with them, etc. I understand it is a change for them to have someone different there, so I try to make their routine as similar as possible so they can adapt to a new person.

Absolutely Wonderful Cat Care! 🐾❤️ We couldn’t have asked for a better caregiver for our 2 kittens and our adult cat! From the very beginning, we felt completely comfortable knowing they were in such caring, capable hands. Our cats were happy, well cared for, and clearly loved while we were away. The communication was wonderful, and we truly appreciated all the updates and attention to detail. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our fur babies were in good hands. We highly recommend Hailey to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable.😸😻😸

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Mertztown is $16 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $21 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 2,610 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Mertztown. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Mertztown. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
